Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra 🎶
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I do hate messing up on the last note/chord, but it happens a lot. As I get toward the end of a piece, a little voice in my head keeps saying, "Don't mess up!…

Re: Baroque Performance Practice feat. Vijay Gupta and Bach's Chaconne
@Martin My favorite moment in all of written music has to be the moment the Chaconne changes into D major. I can't think of anything more beautiful and sublime.

Last Day Here is a video to say thank you. Also, @Emma asked if I have a list of all the pieces I played in this challenge. I don't really have a list, but I do have a YouTube playlist.…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra 🎶
@Emma Thanks, Emma. That’s the best I can think of too. It’s maybe like a romanticized view of rural Spain and the peasant farmers, and the music is intended to evoke that image.…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra 🎶
@Emma Beautiful, Emma! I love the moments where the melody rises up and you do a slight ritardando (like at 1:00 for example). I also love the strong rhythm of the section that starts at 2:05.

@Moyses Lopes I loved that, Moyses! I am completely unfamiliar with this composer. It looks like he is mostly known for his film music. Where did you find it?…

F.M. Torroba – Montemayor and Sigüenza These are two pieces from Torroba’s Castles of Spain. Montemayor always sounds like Renaissance music to me, but with a more modern color.…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra 🎶
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I guess I let out all of my bottled up romantic melancholy while I play! And I agree, if this piece really was named "plowing" by Torroba,…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra 🎶
@Derek Thanks, Derek. I find the other two movements harder to play, mainly because of the tempo.

@Wai Thank you, Wai. This particular piece has some parts that seemed almost impossible at first glance, but eventually became doable. I will admit that I altered the score in a few places.…

@Martin Thank you so much, Martin! This is a wonderfully good description of each of the movements of the suite. I do still wonder why the second movement is called Arada. 🤔

Federico Moreno Torroba – Arada This piece is the second movement of the three-movement Suite Castellana. As seems to be the case very often, I find the second movement to be the best.…
